APPENDIX‐XLI
NORMS FOR ARCHITECTURAL PLANNING
School buildings should be planned by following the standard Engineering
practices with due consideration to the following aspects:
(a) In planning of school buildings , simultaneous consideration of the
environment, size and layout, structural system, orientation,
circulation, climate and the inter‐ relationship of different spaces are
important.
(b) While preparing layout plans, buildings should have long facades
oriented approximately north‐ south, light source should preferably
face north orientation and the shorter facades should face west
orientation. Adequate care should be taken for proper ventilation,
especially in warm and humid regions.
(c) Building should be planned preferably with “H”, “F”, “L”, “U”, “T” or
“I” shape configuration and with single loaded corridor to reduce level
of noise.
(d) Building should not be planned based on the concept of central
courtyard system. In case central courtyard system is to be adopted,
corridors should be planned on the opposite side of the courtyard.
(e) Provision for making an open air assembly area or for adding an
assembly hall at a later stage may also be kept in view in the layout
plan or in the arrangement of blocks.
(f) Adequate toilet facilities are to be provided separately for boys and
girls and for male and female staff members and these may be
spread out. These toilets may also be provided with permanent
ventilation and with exhaust fans where necessary.
(g) The clear height of the class‐rooms may be kept not less than 3
meters, subject to such variations as may be prescribed by the
Municipal and other local authorities.
233
(h) Details of windows may be such that size of the glass may not be
more than 0.1 sq.m in area , in order to minimise maintenance cost.
For the reasons of security, grills may be provided in all windows.
(i) A light plug shall be provided at the back of the class rooms for
projection facilities. Necessary provision for power plugs may also be
made in the laboratories, Principal’s room, staff room , etc.,
(j) Arrangements for water supply and electricity may be made
considering the overall requirements, including those for future
expansion.
(k) It is desirable to make first a master plan of the entire area showing
the detailed layout of the school along with provisions for future
expansion, if any. Areas shall be earmarked for staff quarters,
hostels, play‐ grounds, approach roads and internal connecting roads,
green areas , location of septic tank, OHT/Sump, sub‐ station etc.
Construction then could be taken up in a phased manner depending
on priorities.
(l) Landscaping of open areas especially in consideration to buildings
planned is desirable as it helps in increasing comfort conditions in
the building and also in the surrounding environment . Trees should
shade west elevation. Bows of trees or shrubs should be at right angle
of the source of light to the building in order to avoid glare in the
room.
(m) Proper surface and rain water drainage should also be planned so
that there is no stagnation of water during monsoon.
234
CLIMATE AND DESIGN CRITERIA FOR COMFORT :
India is a big country with varying climatic conditions. Vidyalayas are
located in different climatic zones, requiring different comfort conditions . Each
comfort condition has its own architectural demands.
In the warmest and most humid areas, solar protection and Ventilation
are essential for comfort. Comfort in these zones is mainly achieved by choosing sites
which are exposed to breeze and which have sufficient vegetation to absorb solar
radiation; orientating the main facades of the buildings approximately north‐ sout (
with Corrections to increase ventilation ); planning single banked buildings with
openings of a size and position to achieve required ventilation and shading all
openings from sun radiation.
FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS
(a) When two rooms are facing each other, doors should not be
kept facing each other but should be kept on alternate corners of
each room so that they are farthest from each other.
(b) Chemistry lab. should be planned on ground floor.
(c) Necessary built‐ in – facilities like teachers’ cup‐boards, bulletin
boards , and display boards in class – rooms, corridors, cabinets for
each teacher in the staff common room , built‐ in almirahs in
laboratories, under work benches, store , PET room may also be
provided.
